Green Halloween
"You were once a yellow pumpkin
sitting on a sturdy vine,
Now you are a Jack-o'-lantern,
let your little light shine."
Here at Sarah's Silks we love celebrating festivals! Halloween is a fun one that can be spent doing activities all month that are out in nature and nurturing for young children.
Wonderful ideas for a green, earth-friendly Halloween include pumpkin patch visits, followed by pumpkin carving and baking and eating pumpkin treats. Long walks gathering fall leaves and acorns. Baking bread, making candles, sitting by the fire, and of course, dressing up!
Playsilks are one of the best, most creative tools for making your own costume. We've seen children use them to become ghosts, witches, genies, flying machines, almost anything you can imagine can be created (with a bit of added magic) with a special colored Playsilk.
Adding Face Paint makes even more characters possible - think tiger stripes on cheeks paired with a tiger Playsilk.
Trick-or-treat baskets are another great earth-friendly way to stay away from plastics. Baskets are beautiful and will be used over and over in many ways.

It’s my baby’s first Halloween and my sister thrifted him a sweet tiger t shirt- I’d love to complete the outfit with a tiger striped Sarah silk swaddle as he’ll be just 2 months old! His cousin (her toddler son) could wear the matching tiger stripe pants I already own ♥️

Instead of a dress up box in my classroom we use play silks to help the children pretend to be anything they can imagine.

“Let your light shine” really resonated with me. 🎃✨
My son is 8, and his light shines brightest when he’s creating. Give him an animal, a Playsilk, a pile of autumn leaves and a little space to imagine and suddenly we’re somewhere completely different. 🌿🦒🐆
We’ve been longtime Sarah’s silks fans and I love that your toys invite children to slow-down, make believe and reuse, and build their own stories. That kind of play feels especially precious in a world filled with so much plastic and so many ready-made distractions. A Safari set would be absolutely magical for our animal-loving boy. I can already hear him announcing: “The expedition begins!” as the giraffe, zebra, tiger, cheetah and faon Playsilks join six little wooden animal friends on their next adventure. 🦓🐅🦒
May this Halloween bring
more wonder than waste,
more imagination than screens
and more wild adventures than we can count. 🍂💚
And may his little light and his wonderfully wild imagination shine all the way through the Safari! ✨

Play silks are such a fun addition to Halloween costumes, from something as basic as a ghost to more complex like a fairy, princess, or Peter Pan!

I love when imaginative individual play becomes world building as they grow

I hand out origami claws made out of recycled copy paper from work. The children in the neighborhood seek my house out to get them instead of candy.
